Media contact(s)

For many cities across the U.S., 5G has already arrived.

Verizon has been preparing for the launch of 5G over the past few years and has been testing the technology in a variety of markets to ensure it is built right. Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband mobile network officially launched in April of 2019 in Chicago and Minneapolis and is expected to reach more than 30 cities nationwide by year end. In addition to 5G mobility, Verizon also offers 5G Home broadband internet service in select cities in the United States.

Verizon’s 5G network can help spur the continuous growth of business, education and technology around the world. It has the potential to support millions of devices at once and can support improvements in accessibility, expand the capabilities of broadband and progress public safety, health and security.

The following cities and neighborhoods have already welcomed the Verizon 5G mobile network in 2019 and there are more on the way.
